"Wow I didn't think you were that good a team" 21:58 - Dec 26 with 5566 viewsKeno

My Leicester supporting mate just texted that to m, he added 'not many team team have given that much of a game and I'm relieved we got a point'

I missed the Davis foul so they could well have done, but I wouldn't be able to keep a straight face making the case for Burgess there tbh. 😅 A well-deserved point whatever one's view though (IMO).

On the subject of Burgess (my fav current CB), will he ever get an attacking header on target again? I'm losing count of the number he's ballooned over now, if I was Davis I'd be asking him to duck.


Burgess definitely needs to work on his heading in the opposition area, he wins so many headers and the one he missed last night was a bit of a shocker. He never gets them on target it seems. Agree to disagree on the Dewsbury-Hall challenge, not a stonewaller for me.

I really hate us being on Sky against the ex-PL sides. The coverage is so one sided it's painful.


Yes it's really weird, I hadn't had the pleasure before but last night they were absolutely gagging for Leicester to put us in our place.

The Leeds game was insufferable.

What made it a stonewall pen for me was that Burgess barged with his shoulder into DH's back. If he was level you could make the case for strong defending, but in the end it's not been given because the ref couldn't see it.


I think according to the actual rules of the game it was a penalty, but referees have generally been waving away that kind of penalty shout for and against us all season.

Wrote a bit about it here after we got away with Edmundson's foul on Bundu against Plymouth: https://jacksaunders.substack.com/p/waved-away

Basically over the last couple of years refs have internalised the idea that there's a high bar for penalties, they've got instructions to evaluate whether "contact" is sufficient to send a player over and think about the attacking player's "motivation".

I actually thought the pundits eased a bit after full time

Nathan Jones seemed to talk a fair bit of sense

Didn't see last night's one as I was at the game, but Leeds was horrific.

A little bit, I don't know if Prutton doesn't like us but he sets the tone, McAnuff tends to just toe the general outside media narrative

'I've seen a lot of Ipswich this season', which seems to equate to all the games we have been on Sky which I would suggest have been some of our most average performances all season in the main

Schwarzer was a bit of a random addition, obviously he had a slight Leicester bias and a bit more high profile than the usual candidates
